hi,
i used "service httpd restart" to restart the server. i had encrypted
the server key so it asked me for the passphrase before starting. when
i changed ssl.conf (sorry for not mentioning that i am using openssl)
i defined it to listen to port 443 and i am not sure how to check if
its listening at that port (i am assuming that port 443 is open by
default).
here's bits from my ssl.conf:
# added by Bibhor on 07/12/2005
SSLCertificateFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/new.crt
# Server Private Key:
# If the key is not combined with the certificate, use this
# directive to point at the key file. Keep in mind that if
# you've both a RSA and a DSA private key you can configure
# both in parallel (to also allow the use of DSA ciphers, etc.)

SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.key/new.server.com
The lines w/o hashes are the only ones that i added.
thanks
